COVINGTON, La. (AP) — The Gulf oil spill has surpassed the Exxon Valdez as the worst in U.S. history, according to new estimates released Thursday, but the Coast Guard and BP said an untested procedure to stop it seemed to be working.

I never mentioned a Kalifornia spill.
Yes I know some fish and some sea going birds will be affected. I am saying that the hype is just that hype!
It has been 12 days? since the spill and yet not one square inch of beach has been touched by the oil...no matter how hard the reporters look. I am seriously surprised they haven't taken a bird and dipped it in a five gallon bucket of oil just to have a story.

Yes you will be the only one.
I for life of me will never understand the shortness of insight of a few.
But again, maybe I do.
Read again this thread. Then relpy with a better understanding in your next commit.

This is the last picture I am posting, it is a waste of time with you people.
Armchair gloomers.
"Oh its so bad, oh the calamity of it all" you know what?
STOP WHINING AND GET OFF YOUR VAST BACKSIDES, PUT ON SOME RUBBER BOOTS AND GET TO THE BEACH AND GRAB A SHOVEL!
I paid alot of money to make sure I got "hired" on this boat with this crew so that I could be on the front line skimming the oil as it comes out of the ocean BEFORE it makes its way inland. I put my money and time where it counts and I am doing something to help.
So take your skepticism and go play some more video games.
You think you're in the "front line" you have no idea.

I believe you have answered your own question, the only "volunteer" where I am is me.
